Super Mario World - Lost Levels

Game Overview
Super Mario World: Lost Levels came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995, developed and published by Nintendo. It was a late release for the SNES, arriving when many players were already looking ahead to the next generation of consoles. The game presents itself as a direct follow-up to the original Super Mario World, but it quickly becomes clear that it's something else entirely.

You control Mario or Luigi, navigating side-scrolling levels filled with devious enemy placements, deceptive jumps, and sudden gusts of wind that can push you off platforms. The main objective is the same as always: reach the goal at the end of each stage, but the path is deliberately cruel. You'll encounter poison mushrooms that shrink you, hidden blocks placed to ruin your momentum, and warp pipes that often lead to dead ends or instant death. The pacing is slow and methodical, demanding perfect timing and memorization. Playing it feels like solving a series of malicious puzzles disguised as a cheerful platformer.
